This is a horse chat thread where we share ideas, ask for input from other horsemen, and talk about our riding and horse-keeping. We have a lot of different kinds of riders and horses, and a lot to share. In the previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.
I always have a link to this thread on my profile page, so if you have something to say and can't find the thread in latest posts… look for it there and wake the thread up!
I also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and MissTargets will now be pinging everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. As FreeRepublic is a political site, our politics and other issues will probably blend in…. There are many issues for horsemen that touch politics… land use, animal rights/abuse cases that make the news…. Legislation that might affect horse owners.
So... like the previous threads, this is intended as fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
LOL:)
Becky
Well ain't she a sweetheart!
She sure is a gem on trail, but dang if she ain't a pain in the ash on the ground.
LOL!!! Cyn says "Crap on YOU, you're not the boss of me!" The little Booger!
I would expect Bay to have another 5 or 6 years, maybe even more. You take excellent care of him, and Arabians can be very long lived.
I hope to have another 10 years at least with Jake. He has no health issues other than the normal stiffness that comes with age. I keep him on a joint supplement that contains HA (hyaluronic acid).
Now that he is here at the house instead of boarded out, I get to enjoy him all the time. I don't think I will ever board my horses out again. I am too used to having them around all the time. I drink my first cup of coffee in the morning with Jake and Henkell while they eat breakfast.
Hey, I just invited a lady from the NATRC site to join us here. I've been chatting with her privately. Just wanted to ask, I gave her the address at the top of the this page...where is that going to take her? Will that get her here even if she's not a member? I don't know when you send it at Yahoo if it's a link, or just an address.
Becky
She may have to copy and paste it, it might get to her as text instead of a link, but a link to this thread ought to get her here even if she's not a member yet. Certainly if she enrolled and can't find it, you could ping her.
I welcome her to the thread in advance! Tell her she doesn't ~have~ to read this whole thread to catch up :~) I should have started a new one 2,000 posts ago.
At least you always know exactly where you stand with Cyn, she doesn't lie or sugar-coat her feelings. :~)
And a multitude of other perceived wrongs :~D
Well I told her a bunch of lies about how nice we are all over here, And that we never snipe at each other:)
Becky
Maybe, and I'd like that... though I don't think he'll work that long.
I'm with you on never wanting to board horses somewhere else again. I love looking out my window at them all day. If I had to drive to go see them, I would miss that.
Then I guess we'll have to be nice for at least a while then eh?
Hey, I went and looked at my "sent" folder over there and it posted as link. It does take you to the middle of this page, but hey it would get her here.
Becky
You got it
That is a forest:') Did you call animal control?
"Pic this" lol
The dog is gone . Too bad. She would have been a keeper
Hey, medical question for you.
What happens if you have a cracked, say wrist:), and don't go to the doctor and have it treated. Will it heal on it's own?
My wrist is still not feeling better, and may actually feel worse. I've tried one of the wrist braces, but it doesn't seem to hold my wrist in the right way to keep whatever is hurting from moving to the position that causes the pain. I figured stabilizing it was all the doctor would do anyway, but I can't get whatever hurts to stabilize with this thing. Even with the brace things like throwing my saddle on the horse really really hurts, by the end of a day it hurts no matter what position I hold it in.
Could it still be just a bad bruise??? after 3 weeks??
I just hate going to a doctor...
Becky
I don't think it's out of alignment. It's not swollen, or if it is it's just a tiny bit. No bruise ever showed up, That's why I didn't think it was anything serious. Maybe if I kept this thing on more it would help, It just aggravates me:)
Becky
Hey, I just got a call from Kristy. She just won 1st place at a barrel race:)
She is really excited.
